The event will convene leaders, decision makers and voters for an inclusive, civil, dynamic gathering that challenges political assumptions and creates a shared vision for California.

"Our Influencer Series and this summit represent The Bee's commitment to finding innovative ways to engage our readers and leading voices in the state, and to catalyze meaningful conversations that are focused on building a better California."
